Unit 3 "Phonology"






In the third unit we study about phonology, which is the study of the sounds features used in a language to communicate. First in order to know phonology it is necessary to understand what does phonemes means, phoneme is the smallest unit of sound that can make a difference in the meaning of language, this help us to distinguish the difference between two things. In order to understand phonemes we need to include in our classes the phonemic chart




when we talks about phonology we also are referring to the vowels that are sounds made with the mouth partly open where the air is not stopped, also consonants in which the air flow of air partly blocked by the tongue. In both of them we could notice if is voiced or unvoiced sound when they are voiced spoken using the vibration of our voice and in the unvoiced sounds spoken without using our voice

  1. Good job
    I consider that the highlighted words that you use in your reflection are part of the key connection with the phonology´s concept. Also the video show a helpful information to understand he differentiation between phonemes and allophones.

  3. I agree with you because we as future teachers need to know how to pronounce correctly, also the chart that you added is a good help for students to practice the pronunciation, moreover the video explains step by step some characteristics that phonology contains.
